Chapter 1392: Exposed

America.

At this moment, the scorching sun is high in the sky; although it is almost autumn in America, it remains sweltering.

However, at this moment, not a hint of heat is felt in the mountains.

The British and the Longyan are trading right here.

"Where are your Longyan goods?" the leading British man asks in a deep voice.

The Longyan commander remains silent and pulls away the black cloth covering them, revealing the bronze-colored Longyan Cannons inside.

When the British guards opposite see these Longyan Cannons, their eyes go wide!

This thing is simply a work of art in terms of craftsmanship; it is not only filled with aesthetic beauty but also possesses power.

"Try firing one," the Longyan commander says indifferently.

Then, he stuffs two smaller Cannonballs into the barrel of the Longyan Cannon.

Immediately following, Boom!

The Longyan Cannon suddenly fires a Cannonball; a gust of wind howls as it flies a long distance, and only two explosive sounds are heard.

The British hurriedly go to check the craters created by the two Cannonballs.

They are instantly stunned, looking in astonishment at those two slightly compact Longyan Cannons that could actually fire such high-powered Cannonballs.

Seeing these craters like small ponds, as well as the shrapnel scattered all around, this power is truly heaven-defying.

It is much more powerful than the Cannonballs developed by their Britain.

Then, an even more incredible scene occurs: they watch as the Longyan carry the Longyan Cannons on their own bodies with great ease.

Seeing this scene, these British finally understand why their leader Kelinxi had to pay such a great price just to exchange for two cannons.

Now they understand it completely.

"How is it? Can we continue?" the Longyan guard asks faintly.

The frightened British nod and stammer, "Y-yes."

Then the Longyan hand the Longyan Cannons over to the British.

The British take out the documents personally acknowledged by Kelinxi stating that those two pieces of land belong to Longyan, which even bear the British Royal Family signature written on behalf by Kelinxi.

The transaction is completed here.

Just as the British are about to leave, the Longyan guard suddenly calls out, "Wait."

"Please write a receipt so we can report back."

The British are taken aback, wondering what this means—to even write a receipt—but they immediately realize that these Longyan are afraid they will renege on the debt.

The British look at the Longyan with disdain, but they do not say anything more.

"Remember to write down your names, sign, and affix your seals."

The British look at the Longyan, sneer, and feel very disdainful in their hearts.

Their dignified Britain, known as the 'Empire on which the sun never sets', would they really be so untrustworthy?

They write a receipt according to the Longyan guard's request and hand it to the Longyan guard.

"Is this okay?"

The Longyan guard takes a few looks, nods, and then says, "Happy cooperation. You British have already received the goods, so these things are no longer our concern."

The British laugh, "That is natural."

The Longyan guard also laughs, takes the receipt written by the British, and puts it away.

"Withdraw!"

At the Longyan guard's command, the Longyan who came to participate in the trade retreat like a tide, returning to Longyan City.

Soon, Qingyang takes the receipt in his hand, looks at it for a few moments, and nods with satisfaction.

And at this time, the British guards who completed the trade are on their way to their front line.

Carrying the Longyan Cannons, they think to themselves that Longyan really knows how to make good things.

Although this thing is called a Cannon, its weight is not even half that of other cannons, making it suitable for carrying in daily jungle warfare.

With this thing, that gold mine of the French will sooner or later be theirs.

At this moment, the British suddenly

think of Longyan and immediately reveal a cold, sinister smile.

Once they finish off the French, they will come to finish off Longyan!

At that time, they will also let Longyan taste the feeling of being bombarded under their own artillery fire.

Just as the British are having their pipe dreams, a troop of men suddenly charges out from the woods.

The group of British instantly have their expressions change drastically.

"The French!" the British exclaim in shock, unable to believe it.

It stands to reason that the French could absolutely not have known about this trade.

Could it be that someone leaked the secret?

It is Longyan!

The British are stunned for a moment, but they find it very hard to believe that Longyan leaked the secret.

Longyan has no benefit at all from leaking the secret to the French; if the French defeat the British, they will still turn back to deal with Longyan.

Moreover, the conflict between the French and Longyan is even deeper.

They, the British, and Longyan still have the possibility of peace talks.

Richard narrows his eyes, looks at the cannon barrels carried on the shoulders of the British, and immediately sneers.

The clue provided by his son is true.

Longyan and the British are really trading cannons that can be used in jungle warfare; he suddenly thinks of the explosive sound he heard just now.

It couldn't be that this thing was what created it, could it!

If that were really the case, the power of this Cannon would be even beyond his imagination.

Richard steadied his mind, then immediately revealed a smile: "British, you didn't expect this, did you."

"You spent such a great price, yet in the end, you still made a wedding dress for me!"

The British had cold expressions; they were currently too close to the French, and if they fired the cannons bought from the Longyan at this distance, both sides would suffer.

What's more, the Longyan hadn't sold them any Cannonballs!

They had no choice but to fight!

"Absolutely do not let these two cannons fall into the hands of the French!"

The British guards immediately attacked; Richard saw these British, sneered, and shouted coldly: "Attack!"

Instantly, the British and the French were fighting together.

But this time, the French were clearly prepared.

The British had also sent many people this time to protect these two Longyan Cannons, but they had been suddenly ambushed by the French and had already suffered many casualties.

Before long, the British were killed to the last man, and even the two Longyan Cannons that had been bought from the Longyan at a huge price were taken.

They were hijacked by the French without having fired a single shot.

Richard looked at the two cannons he had gained and revealed a smile, but he couldn't find the Cannonballs anywhere.

He thought to himself that the Longyan were truly stingy, selling someone two cannons without selling the British a single Cannonball.

Forget it, forget it; his France was not short on Cannonballs.

Richard left, satisfied, taking the two Longyan Cannons with him.

He was still thinking that these Longyan and British had delivered a great gift to him.

That gold mine was within reach now.

But Richard did not know that the result of his shameless ambush was, before long, presented in written form to the City Lord of Longyan City, Qingyang Shuo.

Qingyang Shuo looked at the result of this shameless ambush with a smile on his face.

As expected, France did not disappoint him.

Qingyang Shuo burned the intelligence report containing the results of the ambush and pressed his palm onto another piece of paper.

The content recorded on this paper was the signed message from the British confirming they had received the goods.
